Well, actually … it’s more like a kind-of-warm-depending-on-how-bored-you-are-today question. But hey, it’s a question.

First, let’s unpack last weekend’s events. Kelleher met John Lineker in a UFC 224 bout at Rio de Janeiro’s Jeunesse Arena on Saturday. “Boom” was dropped in the third round, snapping a two-fight winning streak with what was also the first knockout loss of his pro MMA career.

It was fun while it lasted, though, and Kelleher seemed to take it in stride. He also absorbed so many of Lineker’s powerful shots that the “Hands of Stone,” himself, would later praise his competitor.

Now, context: While it may seem like O’Malley’s (10-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) attack was gratuitous, there’s history there. Before “Sugar” added a 10th win to his unbeaten record with a decision win over Andre Soukhhamthath at UFC 222, it was Kelleher (19-9 MMA, 3-2 UFC) who went out of his way to voice some … thoughts.

I fought @AndreSoukMMA in the past and we’ve gone back n forth and I know he is in my division but I’m rooting for him in this fight. Please humble this cocky fuck! Nobody wants diabetes anyway #boomshow

Styles make fights, they say, and that can also apply to Twitter beefs.After the latest harsh, but still G-Rated, message from the elusive “Sugar,” the aggressive “Boom” made sure his response had a little more of an expletive-filled kick to it.

You’re fighting all pussies, handpicked by the Ufc for your bitch ass. Fight a top 6 guy see how you do. Test yourself don’t fight easy fights

As the exchange progressed, O’Malley stuck with the short stingers, while Kelleher’s main line of attack consisted questioning the quality of his fellow bantamweight’s record and authenticity of his 28,000 Twitter fanbase – with references to the human anatomy in the mix.

As usual, outside parties eventually got involved, and verification of O’Malley’s followers was requested – and offered. It seems Kelleher lost that one – but, hey, at least he still got some back-up from this other guy, who dismissed O’Malley’s injury as a “crampy foot.”
